If Pac fights Crawford or Spence next and gets brutally KOd, will it hurt his legacy?

What if he wins?

[Unknown Champ]

No. He would definitely be the under in those fights.

[travestyny]

I don't think so. If he wins, it enhances his legacy. A loss wouldn't mean much. That's why I was surprised he took on Thurman instead of Spence or Crawford. Clearly those two are the more legacy enhancing fights, and he has nothing to lose (besides getting hurt, but as a professional boxer I don't think that weighs on his mind so much.)

[Basco]

Losing to any of those two will not hurt his legacy. He will be 41 years old and its expected he is on the decline. Hell, I saw it on this fight. He started fast and very energetic and past the mid point he slowed way down which allowed Thurman to get back in the fight. Based on that observation, I see him, losing to both Spence and Crawford if he can't keep up the pace for 12 rnds. Yet, it will not diminish his great accomplishments.

[_original_]

It wouldn't hurt his legacy but I couldn't see those two brutally stopping him. Pacquiao has a great shot against both honestly. He would turn Spence over and over and throw combos at will, he's a live dog still at 40.

[KTFOKING]

No it won't. Often times in boxing, legendary careers end on sobering notes with the legend taking an absolute beating.

[EdWins]

i mean yall saying it wouldn't diminish his legacy but if he gets brutally KTFO all people will think about is that when they think of manny.

ppl still ain't forgot the Marquez KO but if he got KTFO in his very last fight that would be worse

[Left Hook Tua]

Not really

He's old and past it and he's way above his natural weight class.
